WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Army West Point football team dropped its first home game of the year to North Texas, 35-18, at Michie Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
 
The Black Knights were outscored 21-8 in the second half, while committing a season-high seven turnovers.

ARMY HIGHLIGHTS AND GAME NOTES

  • Jordan Asberry carried out the American flag for the Black Knights prior to the game.
  • Army falls to 4-3 on the season.
  • The Black Knights outrushed the Mean Green, 302-202, giving Army the rushing edge in every game this season.
  • Bradshaw threw a career-high four interceptions and Army fumbled seven times, losing three of them.
  • Army's seven turnovers were the most it had committed since Oct. 13, 2007 against Central Michigan
     

 
TURNING POINT

  • On 4th-and-inches early in the third quarter, Army fumbled the snap. North Texas was able to recover and took over at midfield. Jeffrey Wilson would punch it in from the 1-yard line a few minutes later to push the North Texas lead to 28-10.

 
HOW IT HAPPENED

  • After an Andy Davidson fumble, Jeremy Timpf picked off North Texas quarterback Mason Fine for his sixth career interception. Bradshaw converted on 4th-and-3 to keep the ensuing Army drive alive, and Woolfolk scored on a 9-yard touchdown run to put the Black Knights ahead, 7-0.
  • North Texas responded with a seven play, 76-yard scoring drive that ended with Fine hitting Terian Goree for a 34-yard score, tying the game at 7-7.
  • The Mean Green took the lead, 14-7, with a 34-yard pick-six by Eric Jenkins on Army's resulting drive.
  • Army then embarked on a 14-play drive that ended with a 39-yard field goal from Blake Wilson, making it a 14-10 game.
  • North Texas took over at Army's 32-yard line after a bad snap on the Black Knight's punt, and failed to connect on a 48-yard field gold
  • The teams would trade punts before heading into halftime with North Texas leading, 14-10.
  • The Mean Green's Jeffrey Wilson took a handoff 41 yards to the house to give North Texas a 21-10 advantage early in the third quarter.
  • On 4th-and-inches in the third quarter, Army fumbled the snap and North Texas was able to recover, taking over in good field position. Wilson would punch it in from the 1-yard line a few minutes later to push the North Texas lead to 28-10.
  • Army converted on 4th-and-6 with an 11-yard pass from Bradshaw to Edgar Poe. Later in the drive, Bradshaw appeared to have fumbled on 3rd-and-6, but a review showed his knee was down and thus, Army kept possession. Bradshaw would score from six yards out just a few plays later, and after a successful 2-point conversion, Army trailed, 28-18.
  • The Black Knight defense made a key stop on third down and North Texas would miss the 44-yard field goal with less than 13 minutes remaining in the game.
  • Bradshaw would find a wide-open Dalton Mendenhall down field for a completion, only to see him fumble inside the North Texas 15-yard line. The Mean Green would march down the field and take a 35-18 lead on Wilson's third touchdown of the game.
  • Army saw yet another drive stall due to a turnover, as North Texas would pick off Bradshaw in the end zone to seal the Mean Green's win with under five minutes remaining in the contest.

 
CAREER MILESTONES

  • Woolfolk's score was the fifth of his career (all touchdowns have come in 2016).
  • Wilson's 39-yard field goal in the second quarter was a career-long, besting his 38-yard make at Buffalo earlier this year.

 
UP NEXT

  • Army heads back out on the road for a battle with the Wake Forest Demon Deacons next Saturday at 3:30 p.m. That game will be carried live on the ACC Network.

      DRC: UNT hires new volleyball coach

      Don't know what changed but after a seven-game losing streak, the ladies take down Wichita State and Rice at home in one weekend to clinch a spot in the conference tournament, where they will take on Rice again. Rice was 13-2 in conference coming into the game and Wichita, the tournament host, was also Top 4 in the league.

      UNT Athletics | UNT Board of Regents Approves Athletic Center Phase 1 Design

      DENTON, Texas – UNT’s Board of Regents has approved the completion of design work for phase one of the Athletics Center expansion, Vice President and Director of Athletics Jared Mosley announced Monday. "As we face new challenges ahead, we're excited to move swiftly with Phase 1, taking full advantage of the momentum we've built and the resources at our disposal in an ever-evolving construction market,” Mosley said. “I am deeply grateful for the many individuals who have stepped up to support this effort, ensuring that we continue to provide the best possible experience for the young men and women in our programs. The student-athlete experience, capital investments, and NIL opportunities are all integral parts of the puzzle we’re working to solve every day. Our dedicated Mean Green donors and alumni continue to rise to the occasion, making a profound impact. I encourage everyone to identify the area they're passionate about and join us in this exciting era for UNT Athletics!" More than $4.4 million from 38 UNT supporters has been committed toward the anticipated $10 million fundraising goal needed to complete phase one of the Athletics Center expansion. Total cost of the project will be based on the price of materials at the time of construction. The Athletics Center expansion will be completed in two phases with phase one focusing on space for strength and conditioning. The remodel will expand that area of emphasis from its current 6,180 square feet to more than 20,000 – more than three times its original size. Phase one will include a 50-yard plyometric turf, 16 high performance dual-sided combo racks, 4,000-square-foot of open floor, 1,000-square-foot mezzanine of cardio, and a 1,2550 square foot nutrition site. Expanding this space will enhance UNT Athletics' competitive edge by providing student-athletes with a premier environment to train, strengthening their physical abilities, mental toughness, and well-being. This area will also promote increase team building and cohesion, allowing our student-athletes to foster a sense of team unity and camaraderie. Currently, UNT Athletics has the second-smallest weight room in the American Athletic Conference. Phase two of the expansion project will include improvements to sports medicine, the football locker room as well as additions of a new academic support center for all student-athletes and additional premium seating for DATCU Stadium. Phase 2 would follow the completion of Phase 1 and by way of a successful Phase 2 campaign. The UNT Athletic Center was originally opened in 2005 and is home to administrative offices, football coaches' offices, football locker room and equipment room, but it is truly the home to all Mean Green athletics including sports medicine and rehab in addition to strength and conditioning. We encourage individuals interested in learning how to support UNT Athletics to contact the Mean Green Scholarship Fund staff at MGSF@unt.edu or by visiting MeanGreenScholarshipFund.com. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a meaningful impact and helps advance our mission toBuild Champions and Prepare Leaders. For more information visit: www.MeanGreenSports.com/ACExpansion

      I wouldn't say that SMU will never play UNT again.

      I don’t think this as important as it was a few years ago. If the guy can coach, the players will come.
